Embark on a gastronomic adventure at Foliage with the scallop crudo—an exquisite dance of flavors featuring Asian pear, whey mustard, and French fines herbs that evoke a harmonious blend of parsley and chives with subtle notes of tarragon and chervil—sets the tone for the culinary symphony that unfolds.

As the season of Fall takes center stage, Foliage introduces a fragrant pumpkin seed milk bread accompanied by espelette pepper butter. The slight spiciness of the butter, coupled with fleur de sel, serves as the perfect prelude to the hearty parsnip soup adorned with crunchy walnuts and a refreshing apple twist.

The culinary experience continues with a butter-laden local black cod sourced from Half Moon Bay, California. Paired with crushed potatoes, capers, and a grenobloise sauce, this entree is a testament to Foliage's commitment to locally sourced, high-quality ingredients, inviting diners to savor the essence of the region.

For a sweet finale, Foliage presents a tantalizing duo of desserts. The crunchy bananas and creamy caramel pudding with pepitas and Dandelion chocolate, a bean-to-bar chocolate maker from San Francisco, create a play of textures that dance on the palate. Alternatively, the sticky toffee boasting date, cardamom, and brown butter promises a divine pairing with a cup of espresso or tea. This harmonious conclusion encapsulates the essence of Foliage's sweet offerings.
